Knowing when to break the rules

There's a well known phrase that says 'Rules were made to be broken'. In many cases I don't agree, rules are put in place to create boundaries, keep us safe and so on. But in some cases rules can cause us more harm than good, disadvantage the minority and are for the benefit of things … Continue reading Knowing when to break the rules →

Creating a safe space

When it comes to opening up, do you know what you need in order to feel safe? A starting point is to ask yourself 'Will what I am about to say be handled with care?' I've learnt that people often hold their challenges dear. Even if it's not deeply affecting them now they still require … Continue reading Creating a safe space →

Disrupting the plan

Most people have some kind of plan. Even if it's just a loose idea of how they would like things to be. You carry it around with you wherever you go, it influences the choices you make. You say yes to doing that thing that will help you progress and hopefully make things easier in … Continue reading Disrupting the plan →

Bravery and uncontrollable outcomes

Committing to the wrong thing

What do you do when you think you've made a mistake? In times of great uncertainty it's not surprising that people look to something safe to cling and commit to. And so we end up playing it safe. Getting a good job and settling down because it's easier to follow the rules than it is … Continue reading Committing to the wrong thing →

In search of stability (don’t settle)

I think that in searching for stability you don’t give yourself enough room to explore and take risks. You align yourself in things that feel safe and reliable then convince yourself that it’s what you truly desire. The pursuit of stability is often about fear and control. As human beings one of our core needs … Continue reading In search of stability (don’t settle) →

  • Worth looking back on
What I love about writing on thedailygemm is that I can look back and remember the inspiration behind certain posts. Sometimes writing is just a way for me to work through a difficult situation, instead of getting caught up in the moment, I put the focus on finding a solution or looking at things from a different perspective. Haven't been writing on this blog lately. Instead I've been going to a weekly writing class and working on articles for something new. I love it when my most popular posts are also some of my personal favourites. September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 I that I'm able to write things that will be helpful to read months or even years later. Top posts from May last year. When I write from personal experience and it resonates, I always think, this is for us. It's for me being able to express myself and something that you can relate to.
